I turned this discussion left and right in my head last night. I would love to see us doing something like this:

<span data-property="P570" data-property-type="time">
<span data-guid="q42$65EA9C32-B26C-469B-84FE-FC612B71D159" data-value="2001-05-11">11 May 2001</span>
</span>

So yea, this is using two spans, even if there is only one statement for a property. But not because of "consistency" reasons (doesn't matter), or because it makes writing CSS selectors easier (it doesn't), but because it just makes sense. It's a nice mapping from our data model (where property and data value are two distinct things) to HTML wikitext. It avoids any duplication.

Our default rendering will be comma-separated spans. But we provide a parameter for other list renderings. These are all I can think of that are already in use out there and make sense in certain contexts:

Line breaks:

<div data-property="P570" data-property-type="time">
<span data-guid="q42$65EA9C32-B26C-469B-84FE-FC612B71D159" data-value="2001-05-11">11 May 2001</span><br />
</div>

Divs:

<div data-property="P570" data-property-type="time">
<div data-guid="q42$65EA9C32-B26C-469B-84FE-FC612B71D159" data-value="2001-05-11">11 May 2001</div>
</div>

Wikitext list:

<div data-property="P570" data-property-type="time">
* <span data-guid="q42$65EA9C32-B26C-469B-84FE-FC612B71D159" data-value="2001-05-11">11 May 2001</span>
</div>

HTML list:

<ul data-property="P570" data-property-type="time">
<li data-guid="q42$65EA9C32-B26C-469B-84FE-FC612B71D159" data-value="2001-05-11">11 May 2001</li>
</ul>

Numbered lists don't make sense, because there is no order. Tables may make sense, but I can't think of a good default table rendering. I believe this needs a more complex solution, see T146735 and related.
